//01—About this position
What it is
Wrestling control with the attacker's inside arm threaded between the opponent's legs to the upper thigh, head positioned tight outside the ribs, and hips lowered beneath the opponent's hips. The head-outside counterpart to single leg control: penetration reaches the hip line and removes one post of the opponent's base while the attacker's spine stays stacked for lifting. Offers finishing options including the lift, the corner cut-back, running the pipe, and transfer to a double leg.
